IMPROVED MONTE-CARLO SIMULATIONS OF THE STRUCTURE OF ION DIPOLE MIXTURES

Monte Carlo simulations of ion-dipole mixtures are performed for a few state points for which results reported earlier were suspected to be unreliable. Some extended long runs are made with a larger cut-off rad ius to ensure well-equilibrated systems. Comparison with previous simu lation data and theories is made. The results show that some data repo rted earlier are inaccurate and there is a better agreement than suppo sed between the Monte Carlo simulations and restricted hypernetted-cha in theory.
